In continuation of their blitzkrieg, Chadian troops led by the president of the country, Idris Deby, have captured an arms warehouse believed to be owned by suspected Boko Haram insurgents in the Goje-Chadian area of Sambisa.

The capture of the arms store was said to have occurred on Saturday, April 4, during an offensive against strongholds of the Jihadists.
